4/9/25 This plant is beyond frosty. Stacking up super nicely. Seems like she will yeild quite a bit. My only gripe is that she has like no smell at all. Using the foil as a soil cover is working quite nicely. the top soil is getting filled with roots quite well. Top dressed 1tsp of Bloom 1tsp microbe charge 1tsp bloom

๐Ÿ’œ Purple Haze by Zamnesia โ€“ Pheno B Week 10 | The Frosty Little Bush Is Turning Up the Heat โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š Well... Her sister is moving fast. But Purple Haze Pheno B? She's moving fast in a completely different direction. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ She's still small. She's still compact. She's still unmistakably the little bush of the Purple Haze family. But now... she's becoming absolutely covered in frost. โ„๏ธโ„๏ธโ„๏ธ And I'm not exaggerating when I say that the level of visible resin development on this girl is becoming something really special to look at. The buds. The sugar leaves. The surrounding plant structure. Everywhere I look, there seems to be another little sparkle waiting for the camera. She's been doing her thing since the beginning. She never tried to become her sister. She never tried to stretch toward the ceiling. She never tried to change her personality. She simply built her little compact world... and now she's starting to cover that world in trichomes. And honestly? I really like where she's going. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐ŸŒฟ Still the Little Bush Let's start with the obvious. She's still small. She's still compact. She's still dense. She's still completely herself. At around 111 cm, Purple Haze Pheno B remains dramatically different from many of the taller girls in the room. And I love that. Because by now, we've had enough time watching her to understand that this isn't some temporary phase. This is her architecture. This is how she grows. This is how she expresses herself. She's not trying to become a giant. She's building outward. She's filling her space. She's creating flowering sites throughout that compact structure. And now those flowers are becoming increasingly interesting. The little bush is growing up. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒฟ โ„๏ธ The Frost Is Becoming the Story Last week, I said she was becoming the frosty bush. This week... I think we need to upgrade the title. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ Because the frost is no longer just something you notice when you get close. It's becoming one of the defining characteristics of this phenotype. The flowers are developing more resin. The sugar leaves are carrying more visible trichomes. And everywhere the camera finds the right angle, there's another little sparkle. This is one of those moments where you start wondering: "How much more can this girl possibly produce?" And I honestly don't know. That's what makes watching her so much fun. We're still not at the finish line. We're still watching the plant develop. So if she's already looking like this now... I'm extremely curious about what the next chapters are going to bring. ๐Ÿ’œ Trichomes Everywhere And this is probably my favourite observation this week. She's putting those little crystals everywhere. The buds are becoming increasingly frosty. The sugar leaves are sparkling. Even the surrounding structures are beginning to catch that beautiful resin-covered appearance. You move the camera slightly... another patch. Another angle... more frost. A little closer... even more. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธโ„๏ธ This is exactly why I love getting the macro lens involved in this project. From across the room, she's a small, compact flowering plant. Through the camera? She's an entire landscape of tiny structures, pistils and resin. And Purple Haze Pheno B is giving us one hell of a landscape this week. ๐ŸŒธ The Flowers Are Moving Faster Now There's another change I'm noticing. She's starting to move. Not physically, obviously. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Her development. The flowers seem to be progressing more quickly now, and compared with the slower pace we've seen earlier in her journey, there's a noticeable sense of momentum. The flowers are becoming more defined. The structure is becoming fuller. The resin is increasing. And the whole plant seems to be gradually shifting into another phase of flowering development. This is something I really enjoy seeing. Because the plant hasn't suddenly become something different. She's simply accelerated. She's still Pheno B. She's just saying: "Okay... now I'm ready to show you a little more." ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒธ And I'm listening. ๐Ÿ‘ญ Two Sisters โ€” Two Different Ways of Moving Fast This is where the comparison with Pheno A becomes particularly fun. Her sister is also moving quickly. But she's doing it in a very different way. Purple Haze Pheno A has that balanced, elegant structure. She's building impressive flowers. She's stacking. She's developing beautifully. And now she's really starting to look like she's on fire. Pheno B? She's taking the opposite route. She's compact. She's dense. She's staying low. And she's basically saying: "Fine. If I'm not going to be the biggest, I'll just cover myself in frost." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ And honestly... that's a pretty good strategy. Two sisters. Same genetic line. Same room. Same general environment. Same 12/12 schedule. And yet... two completely different stories. That's phenotype hunting. And I absolutely love it. ๐ŸŒฟ She's Still Doing Things Her Way One of the things I respect most about this girl is her consistency. From the beginning, she's been herself. She didn't suddenly change personality. She didn't suddenly decide she wanted to become a tall plant. She didn't suddenly start reaching for something she wasn't built for. She simply continued doing what she was doing. And now we're seeing the result of that consistency. A compact plant. A dense structure. Beautiful flowers. And increasingly impressive resin development. She's not trying to copy anybody. She's not competing with her sister. She's simply doing her thing. And apparently... her thing is frost. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’œ ๐Ÿ’ก Same Room. Different Expression. This is one of the biggest reasons I enjoy this 8ร—8 Adventure so much. We're not giving each phenotype a completely different world. They're sharing the same overall environment. The same lighting philosophy. The same irrigation system. The same general nutrition strategy. The same 12/12 flowering schedule. And then we stand back... and watch genetics do their thing. One girl stretches. Another stays compact. One demands more. Another asks for almost nothing. One becomes extremely aromatic. Another becomes incredibly frosty. And Purple Haze Pheno B is making her own argument. She's showing us just how different two expressions can become while growing beside each other. ๐Ÿ“ธ Another Dangerous Week for the Camera I think I've mentioned this before... but plants like this are dangerous for photographers. ๐Ÿ˜‚ You think you're going to take a couple of photographs. Then you see the frost. So you move closer. Then you see more detail. So you move closer again. Then suddenly you're photographing one tiny flower from every possible angle. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’œ And with this girl, it's particularly addictive. Her compact structure gives you so many little places to explore. The flowers are everywhere. The resin is becoming increasingly obvious. The contrast between the green foliage and the developing flowers is beautiful. And the closer you get... the more she reveals. That's one of the reasons I love documenting the plants this way. The camera doesn't just record the plant. Sometimes it makes you notice things you would otherwise walk straight past. ๐Ÿ’œ Small Plant. Big Personality. This girl is a perfect example of why size isn't everything. She's around 111 cm. She's nowhere near the tallest girl in the room. But she has personality. A lot of it. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ She's compact. She's dense. She's lush. She's developing beautiful flowers. She's increasingly frosty. And now she's starting to pick up speed. That's a pretty impressive little package. She doesn't need to fill the entire tent to make an impression. She's filling her own space beautifully. And that's enough. โš—๏ธ Feeding & Consistency The overall flowering nutrition strategy remains consistent: ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Terra Bloom โ€“ 2.2 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Power Buds โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Green Sensation โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Sugar Royal โ€“ 1 ml/L โš—๏ธ pH adjustment as required The nutrient solution remains around: โš—๏ธ pH โ€“ 6.0 โšก EC โ€“ approximately 2.0 mS/cm And once again, the important thing for this diary is the consistency. We're watching the response. We're documenting the progression. We're not trying to force Pheno B into becoming Pheno A. She's already showing us what she wants to be. And right now... she wants to be a little frosty monster. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’œ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ The Environment The current recorded conditions remain: ๐ŸŒธ Flower Week: 10 ๐Ÿ“ Height: 111 cm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: 29.9ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: 25ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity: 60% โš—๏ธ pH: 6.0 โšก EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm ๐Ÿ’ฆ Solution temperature: 25ยฐC ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: 26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: 636 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L ๐Ÿ’ง Watering: approximately 1.2 L/plant/24h The room continues along the same general path. And Pheno B continues showing us her own interpretation of it. ๐ŸŒธ The Buds Are Getting Serious There's a point in flowering where the flowers stop looking like little flowering sites and start looking like real flowers. I think we're getting there with this girl. The bud structures are becoming more obvious. They're gaining presence. They're becoming increasingly covered in resin. And because she's so compact, those flowers seem to be packed throughout the plant. It's a very different visual experience from looking at one of the taller phenotypes. With those girls, your eyes travel up the plant. With Pheno B... your eyes travel through it. Flower after flower. Branch after branch. Little pockets of development everywhere. And now... frost everywhere too. ๐Ÿ” What I'm Watching Now At this point, I'm particularly interested in watching three things. โ„๏ธ The resin How much further will the trichome development go? Because she's already giving us a serious show. ๐ŸŒธ The flower development How much more will those compact flowers build? They're already becoming increasingly substantial, but there's still plenty of time. ๐Ÿš€ The pace Will this acceleration continue? That's the interesting question. She's clearly moving faster than she was. But is this just a normal transition into a more active flowering phase? Or is Pheno B going to continue surprising us? I don't know. And I'm perfectly happy not knowing yet. That's why we're documenting the journey. ๐Ÿ’œ The Frosty Little Bush Is Growing Up There is something really satisfying about seeing this girl evolve. Early on: "She's the bush." Then: "She's the frosty bush." And now: "Wait... she's actually moving pretty quickly." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ She's still the same girl. But she's entering another chapter. Her flowers are becoming more mature-looking. Her resin is becoming more obvious. Her development is accelerating. And suddenly the little bush that seemed happy to take her time is starting to show us some serious momentum. I like it. I like it a lot. ๐Ÿ‘‘ Is She Coming for the Crown? Now... we have a problem. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ Because every week I think: "Okay, this one has her own special thing." And then another girl starts doing something ridiculous. Purple Haze Pheno A is stacking beautifully. Pheno B is becoming incredibly frosty. Other girls in the room have their own stories. And somehow... everybody still has a crown. For now. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ‘‘ But I'm starting to think we're going to need a bigger trophy cabinet by the time this adventure is finished. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Pheno B may not be the tallest. She may not be the biggest. But if the competition is frost... she's certainly making her application very clear. ๐Ÿ”ฎ Looking Ahead We're still not at the finish line. Not even close. So I'm not going to start making predictions about where she will ultimately end up. Instead, I'm going to enjoy the next few weeks. Watch the flowers. Watch the resin. Watch the structure. Watch the colour. And see whether this little bush continues accelerating. Because right now... she's giving us plenty of reasons to keep the camera ready. And I have absolutely no intention of putting it away. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’œ ๐Ÿ’œ Let Her Shine So here we are. Purple Haze Pheno B โ€“ Week 10. Still compact. Still dense. Still beautiful. Still completely herself. But now... frosty as hell. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’œ She's building flowers. She's developing trichomes. She's becoming increasingly defined. She's starting to move faster. And she's doing everything in her own particular style. Her sister may be moving quickly too... but in a completely different direction. And that's what makes this so much fun. One sister is elegant and fast. The other is compact and increasingly covered in frost. Two phenotypes. Two personalities. Two completely different interpretations of the same environment. And I wouldn't change a thing. For now, the crowns remain distributed across the room. ๐Ÿ‘‘ But Purple Haze Pheno B? She's definitely polishing hers. โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘‘ Let's see where this little girl takes us. Because wherever she's going... I like it. ๐Ÿ™ Thank You Another week. Another chapter. Another reminder that plants have their own plans. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us a place to document these journeys, compare experiences and learn from one another. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Purple Haze genetics and for giving us these two completely different sisters to follow. Thank you to Plagron for the nutrition supporting the garden. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for keeping the photons flying. Thank you to LumiFlora for helping illuminate the deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment consistent behind the scenes. And, of course... thank you to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person who stops by to see what the girls are doing this week... thank you. ๐Ÿ’š This project continues to be an incredible journey. And Purple Haze Pheno B is giving us one of the most entertaining stories in the room. She started as the little bush. Then she became the frosty bush. And now? She's becoming the fast-moving, frost-covered little bush. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ She's doing her thing. Just like she has from the beginning. And honestly... I wouldn't want her any other way. Let's keep watching. Let's keep photographing. Let's keep documenting. And most importantly... let's let this girl shine. ๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’œ

Day 28 flowering: Another enjoyable week using this little ray of sunshine.. The 2 plants under it are thriving and showing perfect health. The coverage is plenty enough for both plants in their 30L pots and at a height of approx 18 inches above them both, has enough depth penetration to reach the lower growth developing. The Northern lights has some nice stacking colas forming which will hopefully end with a stout but bud heavy girl. Her golf ball tops are a good sign for the 3rd week flowering too. She has plenty of mains to help this happen I think. My Grandaddys Mimosa is also doing brilliant now and has so much growth on her to build nice buds onto. She looks a little more productive than the Northern light too so should be an interesting race. The others moved out of the lights canopy are all going well too. Looking forward to the Gorilla cookies too. All in all another great weeks performance from the Xs1500. Onward and upward growmies Be well .

Day 7 i I transplanted the seedlings in jiffyโ€™s to the DWC basket water level was โ€œjustโ€ touching the bottom of the basket which meant there was 1mm- 2mm air gap between the water level and the jiffyโ€™s. The high pressured air in the water to spit when air was released at the top which kept the bottom of the jiffy moist which had minimal roots showing to the exterior of it. Day 7-13 I originally had 7.5 litres of water that was to the bottom of the basket. I replaced the water on the 13th which meant the water was changed after 6 days at such an early stage I will regularly change the water in the buckets. You can change every 7-14days but I am taking no chances. I refilled and added nutrients on Day 13 which was yesterday. And the plants are doing really well and are a nice VEG green colour. Hard to tell on the pictures with the light colour but you can see their progress. When I replaced the water this week I put 6.5L of water in each bucket With nutrients PHโ€™d as close to 5.8 as possible. Some varied from 5.72 - 5.9. I have noted these on each bucket so that I can check if one does better than the others or shows deformities or stress I can amend it to match the others but hopefully not in such a close proximity of 5.8ph with an EC of 700+- The roots are now showing in every pot with the longest being some 6inches. The new Wakyme grow light is top notch so far with VEG button on only. Anyone contemplating buying one it cost me ยฃ99.00 from amazon and so far is performing just how I would like. Humidity has been taken care of with a cold air intake fan which is pulled from another area of the building of a cooler environment. Temperatures are spot on where I want them but I do allow a 2degree +- allowance but it does change back to its original temperature quickly enough. 5 more speed bud germinated and 2peyote critical feminised photoperiod germinated. Crystal candy XL auto ordered x10 Gorilla glue, Pineapple Express and Cali Kush waiting in the wings. I have these already If I can be anymore help to anyone let me know. Your diaries are helping me and hopefully I can provide the same to you

Hi all. Hope we are all well amd healthy. This was the last weeks veg period for the FFT crew. The poorly girls are not going to break any records for returns in the grow but thankfully the 2 that are in soil are more than making up for the miniture FFT#8. she is the right colour at least . Her size really is small which is down to the root rot issues that hit the tank hard. FFT#9 is a different game all together and is getting very big. I expect the stretch to help flatten and widen her out to give a nice sized canopy. Inner growth is getting nice and plentiful too so should be a good yielder. FFT#10 is really looking Indica leaning now with the colour of deep green all the way through. Her leaves are nice and broad for those lumens that need to be grabbed too. I would love to know what these strains are and have a few of the FFT i would vertainly purchase and grow. I think most of us testing them have a very positive experience in general Well done Fastbuds. Lets see these ladies with some stretch on next week. I will use this week to get them as lateral and flat as possible and rhen use atretch week 2 to build the bud spikes. Plan is to defoliate at around day 18/19 as they are fast flowering so should be showing some flowers forming by then. Thet are alsondue sone ecothrive charge , bio-sys and life cycle to boost them for their flowering start.

This is it for these killer kushes! Different phenos, one was ready in 8 weeks, one in 9 and this last one in 10! The quality is definitely here, itโ€™s just the speed that ainโ€™t ๐Ÿคฃ! Overall Iโ€™m happy with them even though every single one hermied on me (100% my fault)! No seeds in the end though, as I kept plucking balls and nanners every day for a couple of weeks!

I hung all the branches upside down in the closet. Thanks to the help of an air conditioner I keep the temperature at 23C and the humidity at 50%. When after a bending the branches will break (prematurely bend) then the drying will be complete and the tanning phase will begin. Initially I had problems with Ca and Mg deficiency, in fact the plant has grown less than the other, but I am still satisfied with the result. I usually don't weight buds when they are wet because it's just a waste of time. When they are dry I will update the diary with the precise weight. PS the same day I harvested my country rejected the decriminalization of cultivation of weed (referendum of popular origin). I want to say to my politicians: You will never stop me from doing what I love most. that said, see you soon for the upcoming updates๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Defoliation done on the last day of the week, everything's fine so far. The flowers have already started to give off a wonderful scent, everything is going as expected. Looking forward to the next few weeks... โœŒ๏ธ
